Today on ESPN 1040, T-Kras had Evan Longoria on his show to talk about the beginning of the 2012 MLB season. They also discussed Longo's new endorsement with Red Bull, which gave him the recent opportunity to ride in an acrobatic plane ride flown by Kirby Chambliss over the Tampa Bay area. Looks like he had a great day off from Spring Training! Apparently he claims that he did not throw up!

You can check out the video below that features several great shots of this beautiful place we live in!

Just because the Rays aren't playing at The Trop, it doesn't mean that you can't meet up with fellow fans and watch your team! Tampa Bay Rays watch parties are held all season long all over the Tampa Bay area. Check out the dates and locations below for a watch party near you. If you are holding a watch party and want to share it, email the info to RaysRally@gmail.com.

For many teams it takes many decades to build a long, rich history. The Tampa Bay Rays got off to a little bit of a slow start after their inauguration, but have been on a tear over the past 5 years. Just as important in building a history is documenting it, and the Rays organization did a great job of recording the excitement of Game 162 with their new 162 Landing exhibit. Below we have documented the exhibit in pictures. If you are interested in checking it out at Tropicana Field, it is located in left field behind the visitors bullpen.

Spot where Longoria's Game 162 game winning ball landed.

What an amazing day! The weather was perfect... the block party on Central Ave was a blast... and The Trop was absolutely electric! It is has become fairly customary in years past to have at least 40% of the crowd be Yankees fans when they are in town, but for the first time that I have witnessed I believe it was around half that. It truly felt like a home field advantage. Rays fans were rowdy and defiant of the Evil Empire. Any attempt by Yankees fans to try and rally their team was quickly drowned out. It was really a proud day for Rays fans and the franchise we love. A milestone in my eyes!

Below are some pictures and videos from Opening Day that I collected. Enjoy!

I am sitting around watching MLB TV's 30 Teams in 30 Days and I can't help but crack up at how loose and fun Joe Maddon keeps his clubhouse. After seeing David Price and James Shields give a tour of the Rays clubhouse in Port Charlotte, I couldn't help but think of this video released last year. Not only are Price and Shields one of the most talented pitching tandems in Major League Baseball, but they are also one of the funniest.
